Acknowledgments
If you’d told me I’d write three books in three years, I would never have believed you. Yet here I am on my third book, three years later. I am so honored and grateful to have yet another opportunity to share my story, knowledge, and the stories of others as part of my mission to help women achieve financial wellness.
To my husband, my children, and my family, thank you so much for your continued love and support and for constantly cheering me on.
To my incredible mentors, advisors, and friends who constantly encouraged me while I was working on this book, I appreciate you so much!
To the amazing women who have allowed me to share their honest and open entrepreneurial journeys throughout this book: Camilla Banks, Vickii Onabolu, Ayesha Chidolue, Tiwa Lawrence, Kalyn Johnson Chandler, Wonuola Okoye, Sahirenys Pierce, Nike Olagbegi, Fisola Adepetu, Emilie Aries, and Ebony Ruffin; thank you!
A massive thank-you to the Clever Girl Finance team, Esther Bangura, Yazmir Torres, Jui Khopkar, Anita Wikina, and Stacy Jeffries, who kept things running smoothly while I was chin-deep writing this book. And to Kate Braun, my amazing editor, for working through my book edits.
Finally, a big thank-you to the incredibly hard working team at Wiley who have supported me through editing, publishing, and promoting what you now hold in your hands—my third book!
